[sps16]

its alright but still very buggy. What build is your beta version?

[devildog]

its build 1069, i know its been around for a while on the "download programs", but i never bothered picking up a copy. but now one of my friends sent me a copy, and so i got it. just checking it out

Anybody care to tell me some of its features? What seperates it from regular XP?

Its a 64bit version of windows. You wouldn't notice any difference unless you had a 64bit proccesor.

the new version of windows is called longhorn and won't be out for a couple more years.

hmmm longhorn... thats a horrible name... maybey thier in cahoots (sp?) with longhorn stake house...

[painTech]

its the project name. it looked really similar to xp though.

This isn't a new version, just a 64bit version of XP.

And longhorn won't be the final name, its just the codename.

anything you want to know about longhorn:

as stated, longhorn is the next version of windows coming out, its built as a 64 bit operating system, so you need one of the new 64 bit chips, with the clawhammer core
